Yeah agreed, even on the GA market, the eFlyer 2 is a much more aerodynamic design (low wing, wheel pants, lower windshield height) which is already claiming 36kW cruise at 100kts.
Pipistrel's aircraft can actually soar in thermals it has such a long wingspan (I think).
But yeah, I like the eFlyer and I'm looking forward to the 4 person one which you could theoretically use for passenger service.
